Bits of Tuesday

– There’s a discount bakery somewhere near my parents’ house, and my mom visits every couple of months. One time, they had chocolate bread (with chocolate chips!), and I very much enjoyed the loaf I was given. But then it was gone. And the bakery, they did not have the chocolate bread (with chocolate chips!) again for a long, long time. But then they did! So now I do, too. Hooray.
– Through a series of links, I found myself at Cake Wrecks, and the third cake on this post actually made me laugh out loud. And I laughed more and more as I read each of the numbered items under the photo. I’m looking at it now and laughing all over again. I might print that out and put it on my mirror so I can see it every morning (not really), and I’ll never again be sad.
– I brought in another eight or ten pounds of tomatoes today. The German Striped hadn’t been ripening any for a while, but I got loads today, including four that were well over a pound each (two were over 1.5lbs). They’ll probably become sauce to freeze, as they’re so fleshy.
– I had a really happy day today, thanks for asking. It was warm and sunny, which was pleasing, but as I was taking a walk around the Seward neighbourhood (I had been proofreading at the coffee shop), I was thinking about how it’s supposed to cool down and rain tomorrow, and that’s something to look forward to, as well. Then a bluebird landed on my shoulder. Wait, no. But I DID see a hedge that had been shaped into a giant, dodo-esque bird. It was amazing.
